Legendary Circling Idris Elba for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim'

The Wrap:
Idris Elba's fire just got a little hotter: Legendary Pictures is interested in the "Thor" and "28 Weeks Later" actor for Guillermo del Toro's sci-fi film "Pacific Rim," TheWrap has learned.

The del Toro film is a biggie. It stars Charlie Hunnam and is set in a future in which an alien attack threatens the existence of earth. Humans battle the nasty and brutal creatures by piloting giant robots.
